Would I have to come back to school after that for anything (except coursework where I'd come in)?

I know I should ask my school but in holiday at the moment and I was wondering if anyone had any experience in this. Would like to have more spare time instead of going school after January and wasting more of my time.

If anyone has any idea about this it'd be great thank you a lot I appreciate it.

I wanna do this so I can spend more time with making money/volunteering and other useful things.

It would be so much work, is it really worth it for the sake of getting an extra 4 months off school?

i dont think you can take all of your a2 exams in january anyway, i think some modules are only available in june so it's worth checking

Good point. I'll look into that

edit: I think I could I looked my a levels up (math, bio, chem, phys)

[Chow mein]

I did my chemistry A level in January, all I had to do was to come in and do the coursework experiments every now and again. For maths I assume you wouldn't have to, but the others you would, unless you could convince your teachers to let you do it all beforehand.

if you're doing aqa chem, bio and phys, i know for a fact they only do unit 5 exams in June. But if you're not on aqa then ignore my comment

I am aware i made a mistake! chem does unit 5 in jan sorry!

I suppose you could, but I don't think your teachers will be okay with it.

Yeah that's what I was sorta expecting. Do you think I'd legally have to come into school or since it's sixth form where you're voluntarily there you can just not go anymore after you've done everything?

What you mean? They know I don't really need them (I have a hard time paying attention I swear I got adhd or something lmao) I can only learn by myself and even then half the time I'm goofing off :/. I don't think they'd mind much if it is allowed by the school or whatever (except for maybe one teacher who hates me because of this fact lol).

Well I don't see why they'd keep you if you'd have done everything, and anyway since when did people start going into sixth form every day?

First of all you are right it doesn't take too long to learn a module, although what if you don't achieve the right grades which you need for your firm choice?

well my school has something that you have to have a 95% attendance or something lol. In my gcse years I went to a different school though and had 80% and they didn't mind which was nice when I wanted to take mini holidays between breaks between terms.

Won't be a problem since I got decently high ums marks and if I study even for a bit I'll definetly get A's so it won't be an issue.

If you're confident about getting the grades then go for it. I'm doing the same with Maths and Further Maths.

Yeah my math teacher already wanted me to do it but I didn't see any point because I didn't think about doing it with my other a-levels as well.

I wish you luck hope you do great. Thanks for commenting

I think it's unit 5s in general.

WJEC bio and physics I know only do it in the summer.

I think AQA chem have done it in Jan, considering we have Jan past papers for it :L

The best plan is:
- See what you got in August. If you need to do retakes, then obviously you should spend your January doing those.
- If your ASs are fine, then get a head-start on your A2 work and ask your teachers about taking some/most of your modules early.

Chances are, you wouldn't be able to (and really shouldn't!) take all of your modules in January. However, doing about 4 would be fine, making June that little bit less stressful.

Good luck & I hope you do/did well on your ASs.

Thanks for advice. What you mean chances are I won't be able to? Because of my teachers not letting me or what?

Yeah. I mean, you could definitely take the exams if you're willing to pay for them, but if you don't do that well first time round, you'll want to do it again in June, which is more expensive than just paying for one set of exams.

Such a stupid idea.
